42
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: how you doing, what's up dude, I'm doing great. Nice,

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: a nice Sunday night win. Yes, and the Mets just

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: kind of winning easily against the Angels. We'll talk more

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: about it, but it was nice to watch Sunday night

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: baseball and not be completely stressed.

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Angels are in a team that have a

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: lot to throw at you. The Angels have people throw

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: at you and have like a very high, good tier

50
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: of good players, and that's basically it.

51
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: You kind of don't have to worry about them for

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: like three or four innings a game. No, It's is nice,

53
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: especially when they don't play show hey o Toddy. They

54
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't in Game three, which was a gift from the

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: baseball gods. They said, oh, two of the best players

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: in baseball, how about you only face them in the

57
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: same lineup in one game? And what do you know?

58
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: That was the game we lost. Absolutely yeah, right, literally,

59
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: the game where both Trout and Tani played was the

60
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: worst game of the series, the one that we lost.

61
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: And again we'll go into more detail in that. Which

62
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: where do you want to start though, that's a good question.

63
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about it Game three. Let's start

64
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: with the Sunday night baseball. I feel like, that's what

65
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: everyone wants to hear the initial reaction of and I

66
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: feel like at the start we have to bring up

67
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Tywan Walker, who was an absolute bulldog. He went back

68
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: to that old bulldog form that we saw last year

69
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,399
Speaker 1: where the dude was gritty, battled it out and gave

70
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: us a really great performance.

71
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: You say, he went back to the old form bulldog Taiwan.

72
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: But what we're seeing from Taiwan, I've been alluding to

73
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: this for the last few episodes, is kind of a

74
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: metamorphosis of a picture here. Taiwan Walker has now become

75
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: a guy who is significantly more alignant on off speed

76
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: pitches than fastballs, which is something that has a far

77
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: cry from the picture he once was.

78
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: And it's not a bad thing either. It's actually been

79
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: way better for every thing, especially because if you guys

80
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: are following Mike Petriello, who we've spoke about on this

81
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: podcast many times, one of the smart baseball minds out there,

82
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: dropping a follow on Twitter. He was talking about after

83
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: the first inning, which Taiwan did give up a first

84
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: sitting run. He was talking about how Taiwan's forcing fastball

85
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: the k rate just in general tanks because the force

86
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: team just doesn't get the swing and misses. He wasn't

87
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: throwing the split change as much, but in the second

88
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: inning he went from twenty percent to forty percent and

89
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: he struck out the side.

90
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: And that fastball from Taiwan Walker's force seamer, it's not

91
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: really the prototypical four team shape that you want. It's

92
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: not really. It doesn't have a good ride. It kind

93
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: of has more cut than anything else, which is weird.

94
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: Doesn't have a lead, spins average LASSI though that's the

95
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: calling card. But again, Taiwan Walker has found himself in

96
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: this split change up and it has made him a

97
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: significantly more viable pitcher over the last month or so.

98
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: Pee Alonzo referred to this adding from Taiwan as him using.

99
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: His big boy stuff. I like that.

100
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: Thought that was a good phrase there. I like big

101
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: boys stuff. We're gonna keep probably start incorporating that into

102
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: the show. And the first inning was scary, Like you mentioned,

103
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: four balls in play over one hundred miles an hour,

104
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: one being not And of course there was an RBS

105
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: single by Mike Trout that looked like you got more

106
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: of it off the bat. Yeah, it just must have

107
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: been off the end of the battle, but I think

108
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: it was the handle, Yeah, a little bit more of

109
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: a flair than anything. And that's coming off against the

110
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: performance against the Padres, in which Taiwan just was good

111
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: but balls were.

112
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Being hit hard, so we were like, man, it's happening again.

113
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: But kind of similarly, he had a rougher start to

114
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: that game and then found his way into a couple

115
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: of innings where he was able to cruise and get

116
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: six out of him. But after that first thing tonight,

117
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: like I said, the four balls and play over one

118
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour, he was totally locked in you

119
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: mentioned before. Petriello threw more split changes and second inning

120
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: struck out the side no issues. In the third, had

121
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: that great pickoff of Brandon marsh sick pickoff, sneaky, one of.

122
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: The better right handed moves I've seen in baseball the year.

123
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: He put allowed two guys to get on a walk

124
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: in a single in the fourth, but also struck out

125
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: I don't like saying they struck out the side. When

126
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: more guys came to the plate, they struck out three

127
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning again, and he didn't allow any

128
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: base runners in the fifth or sixth to get through

129
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: six incredibly clean innings, one run ball with ten STRIKEOUTSI

130
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: angels quiet ten ten strikeouts in six innings. But I've

131
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: been talking about it for weeks now, probably a little

132
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: over a month. Taiwan pushing this split change up is very,

133
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 2: very very important. On May twenty eighth, it was the

134
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: first time all year he'd even thrown the same amount

135
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: of split changes as fastballs, And since then now it's

136
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: four starts in a row where Taiwan has thrown more.

137
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Split changes than fastballs. That pitch last.

138
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: Night, when you guys listening to this Monday, nine whiffs

139
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: on seventeen swings long, five call strikes, it was ducking

140
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: out of the bottom of the zone all night, and

141
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 2: even his fastball got five whiffs and slither four to

142
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: go along that split change. So as that split change

143
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: continues to lead the way for Taiwan, I think it's

144
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: very clearly his best pitch, his most wiffable pitch, and

145
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: it's turning him into someone who was better than the

146
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: guy I thought he was a month ago.

147
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: It allows for that fastball to have a little bit

148
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: more life when you're seeing that split change chump tumble

149
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: in at what eighty six eighty seven miles now, and

150
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: it's that nasty movement and.

151
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: It's at least a way to kind of hide that

152
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: fastball because he's throwing the split change as a primary pitch,

153
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: and the fact he's able to get whiffs and called

154
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: strikes with it, he can kind of throw in any count.

155
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: He was throwing it into any count. It moves more

156
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: top to.

157
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: Bottom instead have left the right, so he's throwing against

158
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: righty's and lefties. The pitch is a weapon, and you

159
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: gotta throw this back to Jeremy Hefner again, like sprinkling

160
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 2: all his little ferry dust on Taiwan, Walker turned kind

161
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: of changing the entire way he was as a pitcher

162
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: in less than a year.

163
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: I think you were in the bathroom during this. But

164
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: they were talking on the broadcast about Buck and how

165
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: much he loves Jeremy Heffer, and of course Bucks, no dummy,

166
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: we know how good Heffner's been. We've been a huge

167
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: proponent of his on this podcast since the start. But

168
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: Buck was saying like, yeah, I got here, and I

169
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: was just like, Oh, this dude's really good. He knows

170
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: his stuff and all he cares about is living, breathing, pitching,

171
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 1: it's crazy that Jeremy Hefner has been here. Jeremy Heffner's

172
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: been here going through a change of ownership, a change

173
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: in general manager, and a change in manager, and he's

174
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: managed to survive all three of those things. There's not

175
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: many coaches in baseball at any level who has survived

176
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: any of those things. He's just good. Everybody who watches

177
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: this guy goes, oh, he knows something and he gets

178
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: the most out of these players.

179
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: And more than that, listening to the way that guys

180
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: talk about him, his current pitchers, his former pitchers, guys

181
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: we played on teams with it, They're like, he is

182
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: really smart and he's very good at relating this information

183
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: to players in a way that's not daunting or scarier intimidating.

184
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: That's what Trevor May told us in the off season interview.

185
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: He was giving rave reviews of Jeremy Hefner, as you

186
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: would expect. The dude is just one of the smarter

187
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: pitching minds in all baseball.

188
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: Martin Perez he hasn't worked with Jeremy Afner in years,

189
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: and he still gives him credit.

190
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's really good, and I think it's

191
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: really showing with Taiwan, this evolution, this change, this split

192
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: change came out of nowhere and it's become a filthy pitch.

193
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: Four seamer did two because last year with two seamer,

194
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: two seamer, two seamer slider, two seamer slider. Taywan Walker

195
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: is a completely different pictcher than the guy who was

196
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: last year or full year ago before the All Star break,

197
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: when he was an All Star, one of the statistically

198
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: better pitchers in the National League and they scrapped everything.

199
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: He dealt with multiple injuries, and now he's come back

200
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: with the whole new repertoires getting guys out.

201
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: No, Taiwan's been fantastic, said ten K's and we needed it.

202
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: When we have the GRAM and sures are out. This

203
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: is a guy we need to step up, and he really.

204
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: Has, especially after We'll talk about it more. But Carrasco

205
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: kind of got touched up on Saturday and Friday. You

206
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: burned Tyler R. McGill and David Peterson a piggyback situation.

207
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: There wasn't really anybody to bail Taiwan out tonight if

208
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: something would have gone wrong. Trevor Williams there one inning

209
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: on Saturday, but after that first setting, we're looking at

210
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: each other like, I really hope this doesn't get bad

211
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: because I don't know who's gonna pitch.

212
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had no idea and luckily Taiwan figured it

213
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: out at all. He handled Mike Trout right after that.

214
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: I think he struck him out in the next step bat,

215
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: he was pretty dominant.

216
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, great, great child from Taiwan, And like that.

217
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: There's tangible changes that are going into these performances.

218
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: And for the Mets on the offensive side, the bats

219
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: were good enough. They were by no means great like

220
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: they were in Game one, which we will talk about,

221
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: of course, but they handled Patrick Sandoval in that bullpen

222
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: enough to scratch out a win. And Patrick Sandeval is good.

223
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: I hope a lot of people who a lot of

224
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: US fans who watched tonight maybe haven't seen that much

225
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: Patrick Sanderval. Maybe you're not obsessed with baseball, you're not

226
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: staying up to watch ten o'clock game Angels versus the Eight.

227
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Maybe you're not in fourteen fantasy baseball leagues.

228
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: Maybe you see Patrick sanderbal stats in the bottom line

229
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: are like, oh, I guess that guy's pretty good. But

230
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: you could just see the way that he plays that

231
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: fastball and change up off of each other, sitting on the.

232
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: H on his arm side. It's very impressive stuff. Yeah,

233
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: Mets hitters were having fits all night with that change up.

234
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: The change up is a really, really good pitch, as

235
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,359
Speaker 2: are consistently fishing right these n lefties. But Starling Marte

236
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: first came back after his little quad flare up from

237
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: earlier this week, had not a double in a third inning,

238
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: also had another hit and a walk.

239
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: Looked very good. Also, big shout out to Phil Nevin

240
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: for playing Tyler Wade, an infielder, in centerfield instead of

241
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Marsh, who will probably be a guy who could

242
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: win a Gold Glove at some point in his career

243
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: at center field. Maybe he did not win a gold Glove,

244
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: at least be formidable out there. Yeah, it just it

245
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: made zero sense. No never refused to put Brandon Marsh

246
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: in center field for some reason.

247
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: There were a couple of plays that Tyler Wade, probably

248
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: more experienced season centerfielder, would have made rather than just

249
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: the fastest guy in the team as if this was

250
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: little league.

251
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: But I digress. JD. Davis also by the home run.

252
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 2: His at bats have still looked incredibly good and he's

253
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: a guy who I really think has such an op

254
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: oportunity to run with the five spot in this lineup

255
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: and getting regular DH at bats.

256
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: I hope that keeps moving in that direction.

257
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: Pete score on a wild throw home from Matt Duffy

258
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: was inexplicably playing second base too.

259
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: Which the Angels seemingly like to play nobody in the

260
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: position that they're meant to play.

261
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: And this play was funny because he like it was

262
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: like a backhanded pick on a slow roller, and Joey

263
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: kra crazy crazy individual just sent Pete home.

264
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: I don't for it, No, Marte, he sent Marte home

265
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: on that. I thought Pete score in this No he?

266
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: I think the ball and Marte was coming around to

267
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: score and he should have been dead to rights a

268
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: good throw. He's out by thirty five feet. But Joey

269
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: core is a kind of a bad throw.

270
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like just like a one hopper just skipped

271
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: up the line from the second base bag. And then

272
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: Pete lay in the game at a big fly to

273
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 2: seal this.

274
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: In the top of the ninth. Joey Korra man, that

275
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: guy is the complete opposite of what we saw with

276
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: d Sarcene in the last few years where it's like

277
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't send anybody. How many games can we remember

278
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: where de Sarccena doesn't send someone on a close play,

279
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: Joey Corra is like, Eh, if it's fifty to fifty,

280
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: send him. If it's forty sixty, send him thirty seventy.

281
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: I'll think about it. It's almost like team dependent. We've

282
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: talked about this before.

283
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: A lot of teams just don't really have a good

284
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: baseball player at every position, and the Angels do not. Definitely,

285
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: definitely do not the only the good baseball player, like

286
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: four positions ish kind of on a given day. So

287
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: if you can't make a throw or make a catch,

288
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: like you're scoring on that so you might as well

289
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: push the envelope. The Mets didn't worked out. I just

290
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: said it briefly. We're kind of talking over each other.

291
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 2: Pete big home run the ninth inning to put this

292
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: game away, and l either in home runs and RBIs.

293
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: I believe only two RBIs off Joseamirez the league lead

294
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: if you're trailing the Mets UF podcast.

295
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: And as Carl Ravage said, he should be starting at

296
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: first base over Freddie Freeman and Paul Golan. He definitely

297
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: deserves over Freddy. He's having a much better year. But

298
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: Paul Golschman might not be.

299
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: Carl Karl Ravage known, Freddie Freeman, Paul Goldschman, Heyther. He

300
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 2: believes one of them does not deserve a trip for

301
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. So you heard it here first. Oh,

302
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: Pete deserves it over Freddy Freeman, without a doubt.

303
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: Pete deserves over both of them. Doubt. Everyone vote for

304
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. Vote for the All Star Game

305
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: Pete Metz Lindor, Luis gi Orme Wright, and make sure

306
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: you get the Giorme writer ins. We'll talk about him

307
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: more later. But the really cool part of this game

308
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: honestly came in the eighth inning. Yeah, and in the

309
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: eighth we saw Seth Lugo getting out, and then he

310
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: walked Brandon marsh on what was one of the weirdest

311
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: pitching seq I've ever seen for a guy who hits

312
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: him front of Mike Trout. He walked him on four

313
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: pitches that almost looked like a pitch around with a

314
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: two run lead. With a two run lead, Mike Trout

315
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: comes to the plate and Buck comes out and brings

316
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: in Edwin Diaz, which is now the second time we've

317
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: seen Buck made the right pitching decision from the bullpen

318
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning for Diaz to get more out.

319
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: This was a masterclass. And David Cohene, ruthless Coney, friend

320
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: of the Puck program. He he he was a little

321
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek.

322
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 2: He was like, wow, there was a time when Buck

323
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: would have left his closer out there, even in the

324
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: tie game. So this is a good good, good coming

325
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 2: of a I don't know, good learning.

326
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: Process for him. Yes, this shows growth. This is process process,

327
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: good process, good process there, and Edwin Diaz proceeded to

328
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: gas up Mike Trout one hundred one oh two, sit

329
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: down Mike Trout. Edwin Diaz was disgusting. He didn't have

330
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: the slider even no.

331
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: And he even said after the game that Neito called

332
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: the fastball. He was like, oh, and that was the

333
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: high one that Trout didn't swing the first pitch of

334
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: the bat and Nito kept putting it down.

335
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: He was like, I'm gonna let it fly and he did.

336
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: That was prime world baseball classic Edwin Diaz. Now, whatever,

337
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz comes in the game and we're here at

338
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: the apartment, I put on Narcos, I start playing the trumpets,

339
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: because this guy, as long as there's trumpets somewhere, he's untouchable.

340
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: And you can just tell by him not having any

341
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: fear to throw multiple fastballs just basically down the middle

342
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: of the mic trout. That's a confident Edwin ds That

343
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: is not the Edmund Diaz that was putting his hand

344
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 2: up and freaking out of the second of bad hit

345
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: the ball. This edwind Diez who believes he can get

346
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: these guys out and who is getting them out.

347
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Growth growth, growth process process. Edwin Diaz is just simply

348
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: one of the best closers in the game. A five

349
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: out save with five k's. Fuck you, Alvin Gonzalez, whatever

350
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: your name is. Oh that awful tweet. Yeah, this tweet

351
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: was horrendous. I don't even I know what he's doing.

352
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: He's baiting Mets fans. But here's the difference. Now we're good.

353
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: We're good. There's not the debate that's we're a good team.

354
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't get I mean, I know why, but it's

355
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: just so bad tweet. I'll let you read it, James So.

356
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: Alvin Gonzalez, who is an MLB reporter, for ESPN shocker.

357
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: So Buck show Walter canna say whatever he wants about

358
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: not worrying about the rest of the NL East.

359
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: But I'm here to.

360
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: Tell you that it is June and the end of

361
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: a long road trip, and Edwin Diaz might be coming

362
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: out for a five out save. These are like three

363
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: different sentences that don't have anything to do with each other,

364
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: and the tweet still doesn't.

365
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: It's like, doesn't the idea is not completed. No, it's

366
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: not once.

367
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: I don't understand the problem. But bring out your closer

368
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: for a five out save. And during a baseball game.

369
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: The Yankees never used Mariano Rivera in a five out

370
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: saved during their great World Series runs. They've some of

371
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: the greatest closers have never done a five out save

372
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: in their life. Let's have an off days tomorrow. Who

373
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: cares about a five out save? What the hell's the

374
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: big deal? And through like what thirty pitches, I think

375
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: like maybe twenty five, he's gonna be okay. And if

376
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: that's the right move, that's the move that should be made.

377
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: And also to the Buck Showalter thinking about not caring

378
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: about the rest of the NL East, I think he's

379
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. If the Mets win games and

380
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: play the baseball they've been playing, they're going to be okay.

381
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: You can't worry about the other teams. Worry about yourself.

382
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: It's also the manager of a baseball team, and you're

383
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: gonna be like, oh, yeah, the brains look great.

384
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm really worried about them. The Phillies have been hot too,

385
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: But who's gonna say that. Who do you want him

386
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: to say? You want him to just all be aired.

387
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: I really hope we can keep these teams away.

388
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: Like I've heard a lot about these Mets curses from

389
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: over the years, I'm really upset to be.

390
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: A part of it. We had a dumb tweet and

391
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: luckily it's get a ratioed. Yes, good, you deserve that,

392
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: al Din Gonzales, thank god. The Mets closed this out

393
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: and I had to stop you. I had to stop you.

394
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: You're ready to quote tweet them miss our chirp, and

395
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I said, we we gotta finish this game first. We

396
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: got three more outs. We know that this game is

397
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: far from over. But Pete hit the home run too,

398
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: so whatever, Yeah, it was awesome for good. That's way

399
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: to end the road trip. Of course, not how we're

400
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: gonna end the episode. We still have other games to

401
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: talk about. But as we know, this made it five

402
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: and five on the road trip, Yes, which is what

403
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: we said. Well, you said mostly we would love a

404
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: five and five road trip. That would be a really

405
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: really good one. And they did. And what's crazy is

406
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: they won two against the Dodgers time for the most

407
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: wins against any of the teams on this road trip.

408
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: There was just the Padres. I guess that would just

409
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: come kind of came back to starting pitching.

410
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: You're just gonna lose games. Sometimes all lose games, especially

411
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: when the Padres are like thirty five wins. It's not

412
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: like they're horrible. But we can wrap up the road

413
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: trip after we go wrap up these games. Yeah, so

414
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: let's go ahead jump to game one then, because let's

415
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: keep it. Let's gep the vibes high here. Let's talk

416
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: about some wins on the Apple TV broadcast, which, thank goodness,

417
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: Wayne Ren Dazzo had the play by play. It was

418
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: Wayne Ren Dazze one hundred pence Katie Nolan, Katie Nolan whatever,

419
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really know what her purpose is

420
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: on the broadcast.

421
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: I don't even think she's that big of a baseball guy.

422
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: I don't think so either that basketball.

423
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I think she's a popular personality and she does well

424
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: on the snapchat sapschot exactly, and I think she's she's fun. Yeah,

425
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: she was more like pop culture, it felt like in

426
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: this broadcast. And I think one hundred pence is a Weirdoh.

427
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: I think there's just no other way around it. But

428
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: Wayne ren Dazzo, it was nice to have someone who

429
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: actually knew how to call a game because you could

430
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: you could listen to this Apple podcast. It was tolerable.

431
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: Apple podcasts. Oh Apple, Oh yeah, I'm thinking about us

432
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: too much. Broadcast it was tolerable. Yeah.

433
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: And at the end of the day this game we

434
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: were just simply better than the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

435
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: And it started with Tyler McGill on the mound, who

436
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: made his first appearance back back home in California as well.

437
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Shout out to Mama McGill. We know she was listening.

438
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: It's the whole fan there, The whole family was there.

439
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: And while he wasn't ty Lore at the start of

440
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: the year. For a guy who came back after not

441
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: really pitching for a couple of weeks. He it's good,

442
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: it's a good start. The word is encouraging. I think

443
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: this was an encouraging return from Tyler McGill.

444
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: He topped out ninety nine miles an hour, which is

445
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 2: a place that he's sat in the beginning of the year,

446
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: and that's really good. And that whole first inning when

447
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: he came back, he was sitting ninety seven through ninety nine.

448
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Mess fangs were like, all right, we got him back,

449
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: that's it.

450
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: But you kind of got the whole, like Tyler McGill

451
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: full season experience inside of these only whatever fifty forty

452
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: five pitches even wound up throwing, because after the first

453
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: inning the velocity tapered off somewhat significantly. He threw his

454
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: six hardest pitches all in that first inning, and afterwards,

455
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: once we got to the second, third and even the fourth,

456
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 2: he was dipping like ninety five ninety six, was ending

457
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: out sitting a that ninety four range. So it seems

458
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: like tylre well, he does have that lit top end.

459
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: If he's going to stay a consistent starter in this rotation,

460
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: he probably needs to just control like the adrenaline early

461
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: be able to sit rather than peak and valley. It

462
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: also might just be still kind of getting the arm hot,

463
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: you know.

464
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh definitely. I think that's part of it too.

465
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: We saw Taiwan in game three started at ninety five

466
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: and at ninety five. Yeah, that's huge. That's huge, especially

467
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: for a guy who's had arm problem. Also probably comes

468
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: with experience. For sure. Taiwan was younger. He was such

469
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: a big guy, just like ty Lurid. Just come out.

470
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: You want to see that ninety nine, you want to

471
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: see that one hundred and he's home in front of

472
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: all his fans and friends of family first first game. Yeah,

473
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure he was juiced up and that's why we

474
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: were seeing some high radar guns. But it was also

475
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: encouraging that we saw some whiffs on the slider and

476
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: change up as well.

477
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, each of them had two.

478
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: It wasn't even out there that long, Like I said,

479
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: so this was encouraging return from Tyler McGill. But this

480
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 2: is not uh not ty Lord's McGill is Nick Pollock

481
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: will call It's not like cy Laura McGill's. We were

482
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: saying earlier in the year, but this is this is

483
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: a good performance from someone who might be more of

484
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: a weapon than a star.

485
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: They're moving forward. David Peterson piggyback off of him, which

486
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: is an interesting dynamic that could work I think for

487
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: the future. I kind of like it. I would do

488
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: this one time week for these two guys. So it

489
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: was great.

490
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: And Peterson still decent. That slider man, that slider's come

491
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: a long long way.

492
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: He's just guy. Came whifts on it all nighte five

493
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: on nine swings and just think it through like a

494
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: two and two thirds innings too, and a third innings. Yeah,

495
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, he had a really fine performance exactly what

496
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: we needed in the game where the Mets were kind

497
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: of in control of the entire night.

498
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and each of them only allowed two hard to

499
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: balls against the Angels lineup that, like we said, is

500
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: not deep, but is top heavy. So there are some

501
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 2: guys who can I do damage and both of these

502
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: guys were able to limit it.

503
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: And we got a gift in this game too, because,

504
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: like we said, Trout and Otani only in the lineup

505
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: for one game with each other. Trout was not in

506
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: for Game one. He was fighting an injury. Good for

507
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: baseball that he's back. The happy for that happy. We

508
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: also got to miss him in a game. That's also

509
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: huge win. When we saw what he can do against

510
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: the Mets, and we'll talk about that in game two.

511
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: Nice to miss him. Brandon Marsh though, was the thorn

512
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: on our side. That was the only problem with Tyler

513
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: and they've finished the whole night. They just couldn't get

514
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Marsh out. And it happened again. I believe in

515
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: Game three and Game two. Brandon Martin's don't get hits.

516
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: I walked a few times. Yeah, he was just an

517
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: on base machine this entire sat. It's a good ball player.

518
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: He's a good ball player. He'll make it. Yeah, hit No,

519
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,959
Speaker 1: He'll be fine. He's definitely like the better of their

520
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: prospects that I have come up recently. He's a guy

521
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: who stays in the league probably a while. I also

522
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: like him. I saw on Twitter a video of him.

523
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: I think Anthony Rendone or Tyler Wade or somebody was

524
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: talking to me like, man, you're a weird dude. He's like, yeah,

525
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: I know, I'm weird, and then he just did a

526
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: chew bocking noise, which I thought was awesome. That's funny.

527
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: That's a fun guy right there. So, Yeah, the Mets

528
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: were playing really well. I also got to give a

529
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: shout to Giorme, who was making plays all night long

530
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: in the field. They were drooling over him on the broadcast.

531
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: Vote May for the All Star Game. There's a zero

532
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: percent chance he gets in, but it'll be cool if

533
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: we get enough votes. Because there's about I don't know,

534
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: three four thousand of you that listen to this podcast.

535
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: If each of you use your five votes every single

536
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: day for a write in of Luiski or May, we

537
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: can make at least Luiski or May's name get mentioned

538
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: as an All Star, at least put him on the list.

539
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: So this is our official cry, our cry, our proclamation

540
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: to vote Luiski or May write in for the All

541
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: Star I don't know what position you're gonnaut him in

542
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: because Jeff MacNeil and all those guys deserve to go into. Yeah,

543
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean wherever you want dh third base.

544
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: The Mets don't really have a third base option for

545
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, so I've been writing him in there.

546
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: Or you can put him a catcher you could play

547
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: really yeah, you can write his name in at the

548
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: catcher spot. That doesn't make any sense. Just write in

549
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: Luiski or May wherever you can, anywhere you want, anywhere

550
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: you want. He just votes.

551
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: Is that going to change the voting process if he's

552
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: getting votes at different positions?

553
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: I don't know that would We're getting deep into it.

554
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: That'd be an annoying loophol. I'd have to write a

555
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: strong of the word letters to the Major League office.

556
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: He might have a chance as a catcher. Does he

557
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: have to start a catcher if he wins as a

558
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: write in starter as a catcher, to.

559
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: Drop off our proclamation at the league office in Midtown.

560
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: We're getting sidetracks. But this is what happens on a

561
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night episodes when it's midnight. We're trying to figure

562
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: out what's going on bike back to Brooklyn. The rest

563
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: of the bats were good, though, Nimmo Canna looking good,

564
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: which was nice. Neimo finally started to look like his

565
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: old self after the injury, which was nice.

566
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: Kind of like a weird week in between for Nimo

567
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: wasn't really hitting but him Mcanna hitting one two. Each

568
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: had two hits, one walk, and three RBIs. But Nimo

569
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 2: hit the home run, yes, hilarious. So three of the

570
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 2: stats exactly the same for each of them. Neither had

571
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 2: the Mets other RBI. In this game, every single player

572
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 2: in the lineup had a hit in each of the five, six, seven, eight,

573
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: and nine hitters all score the run Escobar, McNeil, j

574
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: Di Giorme, andn Though Francis Gollingdor three herded.

575
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: Balls was about to say, no't forget Lindor three balls,

576
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: because Lindor's bat has been a little hot and cold

577
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: a points this year, but he is still swinging it. Well,

578
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: you said it to me during Game three. Feels like

579
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: Lindor's been hitting the ball really hard. This road trip

580
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: just unlucky.

581
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: That's fine, so everything else still going well. Defense has

582
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: come together beautifully for Francisco.

583
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: And then for the bullpen Drew Smith, Joelli out of

584
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: Vino Edwin zero hard hit balls, nice and easy. The

585
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: Mets won this game easily. Like you said at the beginning,

586
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: we're just simply a better team. Yeah.

587
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 2: The only issue of Jolly just wasn't with throwing strikes here.

588
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: He's been got him on a cold shrek thrown a

589
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: streak right now, so yes, that's not great.

590
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: Not great. We need him to get back.

591
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 2: Also misstelling an anecdote from just before this game that

592
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to mention her maybe they dropped it. I

593
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: remember what game they dropped before, but I want to

594
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: say it before I forget. But apparently as the Angels

595
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: losing streak was reaching its boiling point, they were trying

596
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: to do weird, funky things to kind of break it,

597
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: break them out of it.

598
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: And we mentioned last episode that I think on their day.

599
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: Of their thirteenth loss in a row, they all played

600
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: Nickelback as their walk up songs, which is awesome. Yeah,

601
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: showy Tanian photographich is hilarious. So the next day or

602
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: the day after that, Joe Madden than to try and

603
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 2: you know, spark the boys who's been fired, decided to

604
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: shave his head into a mohawk, and he came in

605
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 2: with a mohawk on the day that he would be

606
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: let go.

607
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: And the team never saw it. Poor Joe Madden. That

608
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: story made me feel bad. That one makes me feel

609
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: bad for him, like did he deserve to get fired?

610
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: One hundred percent? And I don't think he's a very

611
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: good manager, But that's sad that he was willing to

612
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: do whatever it took for the boys to get a win.

613
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: Can you imagine, like sad Joe Madden saying his car

614
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: after that with his mohawk to be sad. He had

615
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: it all spiked up too. That's like it probably went

616
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: from there, just like being like flashy around and.

617
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 2: Joe Madden like, of course the game has passed him

618
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: by a little bit, but he's still like one of

619
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: the like quintessential managers this generation.

620
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 1: I remember Joe Madden's name forever. He's a cool baseball mind. Yeah,

621
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: so he broke history, he did.

622
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 2: He kind of shit in this era of being a

623
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: little less like stringent old school all appleshit. So that

624
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: story about Joe Madden made me sad. Also, I just

625
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: don't like sad old people. Sad old people makes me sad.

626
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: Old people are something saddest things me so sad, Like

627
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: they should be happy.

628
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: They're old. They did it all, they experienced life. Joe

629
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Madden the mohawk, I think that's probably the last time

630
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: he ever gets. So he's gonna see mohawks now and

631
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: yell at people in the streets. Cut your hairkit, I

632
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: feel bad. Let's do short to get a mohawk. That

633
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 1: man be so sad. Let's talk about Game two though,

634
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: the poop fest. We are a lock for one poop

635
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: fest a series. It's unbelievable. I'm really getting sick and

636
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: tired of this term, but I also do love it

637
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: a little bit because it's kind of great. It's very juvenile,

638
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: it's very funny. He was born out than nothing. I

639
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: was rather than the notes for fun. Now we're just sticking.

640
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: The AELs just crushed us as simple the bat showed

641
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: up to wash the cycle. We've now been involved in

642
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: two games in the last week that had a cycle,

643
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: which I don't know when the last time that happened.

644
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: I think Walsh there is also the second cycle of

645
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: his career, if I remember correctly. I have no idea

646
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: on that one.

647
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: I think he's having before, and we're not going to

648
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 2: check gets twelve fifteen, Mike Trout two home runs her

649
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: mind everybody how good he is. Otani had a home

650
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 2: run that was freaking laced and a double that was

651
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 2: also laced.

652
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: Each of those guys had three hard hit balls apiece.

653
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: They were just the Angels just hit better. In this game.

654
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: You see how much more difficult this team is to

655
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: handle when you have Mike Trout and Otani along with

656
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: Rendon and Jared Walsh. In that lineup, like, those are

657
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: four hitters, four really really good hitters. It's just everywhere

658
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: in Marsh. I guess we'll put in Marsians Carsity.

659
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: Marsh is still like not really like a better than

660
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 2: the gaverage bat right now, he's becoming that top five

661
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: good bottom bottom.

662
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 1: Four atrocious like not major league baseball players. While Lagaris

663
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: was playing a lot and hitting in spots that you

664
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: never thought you'd see him hitting again five to sixty seven,

665
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: wasn't he like a leadoff one time? Last week? He

666
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: let off with Joe Madden? Was there? Right? That's that's

667
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: another whole story with the Angels and not understanding how

668
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: leadoff gets the most at bats. Why is Mike Trout

669
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: or Shoho not leading off? Digress not our problem. The

670
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: Mets beat them, so ha too bad, But in this

671
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: game did not. They did not. They messed up. Carlos Carasco. Yeah,

672
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: he got touched up by all those guys that we

673
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: just mentioned.

674
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: And this is kind of a good lesson for ourselves

675
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: as Mets fans fans us podcasters, like not getting ahead

676
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: of ourselves, like Carlos Carasco has been really good and

677
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: the saving grace of the team. This year, probably one

678
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: of the three most important players in the whole roster

679
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: to this point, I would probably say like him, him, Pete,

680
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: maybe Edwin Lindor kind of in that mix, but I

681
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 2: think Carrasco Pete are definitely driving this train as the

682
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 2: most critical Mets right now. He was still good ish,

683
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 2: but this is just kind of the line that Carlos

684
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: Carrasco walks where his stuff is just okay, not the

685
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: level it once was, and he's a guy who needs

686
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: to place his pitches in the right spots to be

687
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 2: very successful. And there was an instance of this right

688
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 2: off the bat first inning, had Otani down O two

689
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 2: in the first tried to elevate the fastball really was

690
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: just at his belt and it was eviscerating.

691
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: Yep. And then you saw what happen with Trout too,

692
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: one two pitch change up kind of just like not great.

693
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 1: It was like low ish, kind of caught a little

694
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: too much played. I was able to go down and

695
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: get that because he's one of the greatest hitters of

696
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: all time. Tetani first ending, that was a double, not

697
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: the home run. Best book, the home run was thinking

698
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: the fourth inning later in the game, that was the

699
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: first pitch slider that was just kind of backed up

700
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: on him, sat middle middle. That's what happens when you

701
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: face two of the best players in all of baseball.

702
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: You make a mistake, they are going to make you pay.

703
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: That's why they're some of the best.

704
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: But with that, Crasco did miss those spots two very

705
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 2: good hitters, and that's unfortunate. But otherwise he was good.

706
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 2: He had I think it was nineteen whiffs or they're

707
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: eighteen whiffs. He had seven k's. Now I'm not worried

708
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: about this, but this is just kind of the line again,

709
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: the Carls Crass was gonna Walk's gonna be a few

710
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: pitches a game that are gonna change his entire line

711
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 2: and his entire success in that particular outing, and that sucks.

712
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: That's just because he doesn't throw ninety seven miles an hour.

713
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: His slider isn't like this wipeout, crazy sweeping pitch, his

714
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: change up doesn't have plus plus movement with vlossy difference.

715
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: He's not really gonna be able to get I don't the.

716
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: Word isn't lucky.

717
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be able to succeed as much when

718
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: he's not executing as other guys who have stuff like that.

719
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: Definitely, so he's gonna walk a line.

720
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 2: This one was just a little on the other side

721
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: of that game earlier in the week, on the other

722
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: side of that for sure.

723
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Not worried about him. Not worried about Carass. Jake Reed

724
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: came in, he got crushed. Chas and Shreeve came in,

725
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: he got crushed. He's been struggling, and yeah, he's kind

726
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: of he's here to pitch when we need something to pitch. Exactly.

727
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: Good on Buck for using those guys too, because yeah,

728
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: really just don't want to use any usable pitchers in

729
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: this game. Cool though. Khalil Lee, who got the call up,

730
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 1: of course, he got his first home run of his career.

731
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: He crushed it to left center field. The dude's got

732
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: silly pop. It's always just been a matter of whether

733
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: or not he can actually put it all together. But

734
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: you see when he hits the ball, it was pretty far.

735
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: And Jeff McNeil also had a very very sick outfield

736
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: assist at home plate on Otani earlier in this game.

737
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: Yea posed them and right field, so Jeff McNeil does

738
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: it all. Khalil Lee home run overall, though, this game

739
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: was a poop fest. But to wrap up the series,

740
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: to wrap up the West Coast road trip, which, by

741
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know if you guys have realized

742
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: how much the Mets have been on the West Coast recently.

743
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: If it feels like a lot, you would be correct,

744
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 1: because the Mets in the last month have played five

745
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: series on the West Coast. We had the Giants, Rockies, Dodgers, Padres, Angels.

746
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: In case you're wondering, the Mets last twenty two games,

747
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: sixteen of them have been played on the West Coast.

748
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: They've had six games at home of the last twenty two,

749
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: and that was when we swept the Phillies in the Nationals.

750
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: And over the stretch, I mean the Mets have done

751
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: dominated pretty well, not dominated well good, really well. That

752
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: that's well over five hundred yeah, well over five hundred

753
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: and at times this series, especially after Game two, people

754
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: were ready again to say the season's over, just like

755
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: that stupid Alton Gonzalez tweet of a non Met fan.

756
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: But there were some Mets fans who were, you know,

757
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: freaking out, and we get it. The Braves and Phillies.

758
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: Phillies lost today. The Braves have not yet lost in

759
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: the month of June, but that's as we know, Salakatas

760
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: fall all Salakazwa. Since Salakya opened his mouth a week

761
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: and a half ago, those teams.

762
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 2: Have combined for one loss, which is crazy. It doesn't

763
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: even make any sense. But also they're playing nobody.

764
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: They're playing the Pirates and the Cubs, Yeah, Diamond back

765
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and Backs, like all the teams that we are also.

766
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 2: Going to be I believe the Rockies, Yeah, I think

767
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 2: they put we already beat on.

768
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like these are all teams we're gonna get to

769
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: play at points if we have not yet done so.

770
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: I understand they've gotten closer, but really, at the end

771
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: of the day, a five and five road trip against

772
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: the really good Dodgers, a strong Padre's team, and even

773
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: though the Angels have stunk, if you look before that

774
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: losing streak, they were leading the Al West by a

775
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: good chunk. I just need some sleep.

776
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 2: Think we gotta get these games back in the East Coast.

777
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 2: Joe Demeyo had a good tweet earlier this weekend that

778
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 2: after this stretch, the Mets, I think only have two

779
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: games they are throwing first pitch after eight ten pm

780
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: the rest of the season.

781
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: Sick. That's sick. God, I am so tired. My sleeping

782
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: schedule is always pretty horrible. But when my night kind

783
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: of ends at midnight, of like brain activity because usually

784
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: those last few hours I'm shut off. Yeah, I'm a

785
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: different kind of tired at two am than when I'm

786
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 1: just up until time. Oh my god, no more late

787
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: night discords with the Boys. Midnight Mets. Midnight Mets is

788
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: probably over. I'm going to miss the midnight Mets.

789
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 2: Might have one more midnight Mets like late in the

790
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: year in ESPN game or something, or Oakland, Oakland. We'll

791
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 2: geting three more games in September. The Met's go to

792
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: Oakland for a three games set in September for no reason.

793
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: Schedule makers are just absolute terrible.

794
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Ember Nick Palkol is just like a couple. No, it's

795
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: not them anymore. It was it was them, and they

796
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: did a great job. This new people are turned back

797
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: getting the couple back. Anyway, any more comments about the

798
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: road trip.

799
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: I think it was just at like basically as good

800
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: as we even could have expected, as crazy as that sounds,

801
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: and Mes's went through this entire road trip ten games,

802
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: ten o'clock at night against two pretty good teams, one

803
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: not so good team with really good players with not

804
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 2: that much starting pitching. They were missing two of their

805
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 2: better bats for a small chunk of it at the end,

806
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: and you split it.

807
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: Here's a really fun stat. The Mets against teams over

808
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 1: five hundred or twenty three and fourteen, which is like

809
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: almost the most games I think played against teams over

810
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: five hundred in baseball. Their twenty three wins is almost

811
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: as many games that the Braves have played against teams

812
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: over five hundred. This year. The Blaves have played twenty

813
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: six games against teams over five hundred. Of course, this

814
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: number changes because now the Braves are over five hundred.

815
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: The Phillies were over five hundred for a little bit.

816
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: These things can fluctuate. Since the Phillies are back under

817
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: five hundred.

818
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: I actually won five hundred today, but still the Braves

819
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: haven't played the team over five hundred since May eighteenth.

820
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: It's insane. That's ridiculous.

821
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: And had three more games this week. They're gonna go

822
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: a full month. I'm playing no teams over five hundred.

823
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: And win the World Series last year.

824
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: Well, baseball is not like football, where the schedule is

825
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: structured based on what like how well you did every

826
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 2: in your division.

827
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: You basically played the exact same teams. Everyone's playing the

828
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: exact same games.

829
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: Some are different home and road, and you're into league's

830
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: but you're playing every team in the National League for

831
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: two series. You're playing your division eighteen times a pop.

832
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: Like this is pretty structured strake the schedule. It's nothing

833
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 2: to fret about.

834
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: Mets still have a five and a half lead over

835
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves, nine game lead over the Phillies.

836
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 2: So funky stat here, This roach trip ended five and

837
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: five five hundreds. Some other people will call it as

838
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: some people being disappointed that this Mets team had split

839
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 2: their last ten games while the Braves have won eleven

840
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 2: in a row, which is just ridiculous. But if the

841
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: Mets literally sitting here right now on June thirteenth, play

842
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: five hundred ball the rest of the season, they'll end

843
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 2: this year with ninety wins. Yeah, which I mean that

844
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: probably won't win you division, but that'll put them like

845
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: right at their number that Vegas gave them before the season.

846
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: That will most likely.

847
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: Get you into these new expanded playoffs. I'm not saying

848
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: that's what I expected, that's what I hope or but

849
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 2: literally the Mets. The Mets have played so well this

850
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: year so far that five hundred baseball from here right

851
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 2: now then June thirteenth, still get to the ninety.

852
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: Wins and still get you in the playoffs and might

853
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: even win you the division. And that's without Jacob de

854
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: Gram and not a whole lot of maxers are either this,

855
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: ye know, pretty impressive. Yet people were still ready to

856
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: say the sky is falling. That being said, we know

857
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: that's not the case. It's crazy how one win in

858
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: a series will make you change that. And I think

859
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: everyone's feeling good again, which is nice. We want people

860
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: to feel good. That's what we're trying to do here

861
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: with the Messed Up podcast. Make sure you guys know

862
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be okay. This mess team's good. A one

863
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: hundred episode here, that's some fun one hundredth episode. We're

864
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: here to have some fun. Good segue, James. That was

865
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: very pro because I've got some funny one hundredth episode

866
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: nonsense for you guys. I'm just gonna spew for a

867
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: little bit. This one was all Mark. Mark got deep

868
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: into the baseball research before when he was in the bathroom.

869
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: So the Mets one hundredth game was on July twenty eighth,

870
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two, at Old Bush Stadium. They won nine

871
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: to eight for their twenty sixth win of the season.

872
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: Their record at the time was twenty six and seventy four,

873
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: so this is better than that. This messed up podcast

874
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: through one hundred episodes significantly bet in the Mets organization

875
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: through one hundred games. Yes, the Mets. Mets are one

876
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: sixteen and one oh seven through our first one hundred episodes. Yes,

877
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: which is a fifty two percent win percentage, by the way,

878
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: so that's way better than the Mets were at this time,

879
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: and way better than the Mets probably for the franchise.

880
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: Oh oh for sure. Another good one for us, Another

881
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: going for us. More fun facts about this one hundredth game.

882
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Jay Hook started game for the Mets on the mound,

883
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: which is a funny name, a guy who didn't pitch

884
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: very much. They went up three to nothing and then

885
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: gave up five runs in the fourth to go down.

886
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: A guy by the name of Gene Woodling pinch hit

887
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: in the fifth inning hit a two run pinch hit

888
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: home run, and the Mets struck out one batter the

889
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: entire game, gave up three home runs. They gave up

890
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: more home runs than they struck out. Willard Hunter came

891
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: in in the ninth inning after relieving for a guy

892
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't remember his name. He walked the first battery

893
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: face and they said that's enough. They took him out

894
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: of the game. He faced, not alloud anymore faced. One

895
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: batter walked him, took him out of the game. Like

896
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: we said, the Mets won. How about the Mets to

897
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: win their one hundredth game. You're right for this one, guys.

898
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: It took the Mets until their third season to win

899
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: their one hundredth game. They won it on May fifteenth,

900
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, against the San Francisco Giants, to which

901
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: the Mets held Willy Mays, who's hitting four thirty at

902
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: the time, Orlando Sopaid, and Willie McCovey, three future Hall

903
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: of famers, to an zero for eleven on the day,

904
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: Charlie Smith big double in the eighth to get a

905
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: win against Don Larson. This team really Don Larson. Don

906
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Larson on the Giants. This team was full of names

907
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: Felippe and Matti Alou, which names some Hall of famers,

908
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: some other names you guys recognize as well. That was

909
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: the one hundredth win. Now there have been fifteen Mets

910
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: who have hit more than one hundred home runs in

911
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: their career as a Met, James, I'm gonna give this

Speaker 1: had one oh four, Lucas Dudo with one twenty five,

926
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: and Confordo with one thirty two. So the Mets have

927
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: had fifteen players hit one hundred or more home runs

928
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: as a New York Met. They've had three pitchers win

929
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: one hundred and more games. You can guess all three

930
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: of these, you think definitely with the team, with the

931
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: team Siever yep, Kuzman yep, come on, old or new

932
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: old old guy, Yeah, Siver Kuzman. Oh h doc yeah.

933
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: The three Yeah, those are the three the Mets one

934
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: hundredth free agent signing in their history. I went deep

935
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: shout out to Ultimate Mets dot com. By the way,

936
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: this website is sick. You guys should go on if

937
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: you're really into just finding out any information on the

938
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: New York Mets. I could find every free agent, every trade,

939
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: whatever they've done in their entire history. Sick. So one

940
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: hundred three agent signing was a guy by the name

941
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: of Brett Butler, nicknamed Bugsy. He finished his career shockingly

942
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: with a fifty war which is kind of crazy for

943
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: a guy I've never heard of good. He was a

944
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: decent little hitter two ninety average, three seventy seven on base,

945
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: didn't hit for any power, but he finished with a

946
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: career ops of seven to fifty three and a one

947
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: ten ops plus, which is a pretty solid career for

948
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: a guy. Yeah, only played ninety total games with the Mets,

949
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: but he was actually better than his career averages, a

950
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: difference than what we normally see with the Mets players.

951
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: That's Jo Bugsy. They ended up trading him in August

952
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: for Scott Hunter and Dwight Manis, who never did anything.

953
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: They were career minor league players, so still got a

954
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: little bit of the Mets, you know, Flair and Pizaz

955
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: on it. But that was an interesting one. And then

956
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: one hundredth trade in Mets history happened on March twenty seventh,

957
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine. Shout out to an old episode we

958
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: did on here of the all time most Mets Mets.

959
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: The Mets traded Nino Espinoza, who is on your team,

960
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: for Richie Hebner and Jose Moreno. Richie Hebner who had

961
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: a really nice career with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Mostly Jose Moreno.

962
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: I don't know much about why.

963
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 2: Then shoutout me Neino Espinoza. Second, you new Espinoza mentioned

964
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: the Mets Up podcast.

965
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: No other Mets podcast has mentioned him once, there's no

966
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: no Espinoza. And then just for some other ending facts,

967
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: here again shout to Ultimate Mets dot com for all

968
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: the Mets stats that we did just get. We've covered

969
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: a total of two hundred and twenty three New York

970
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: Mets games a lot. Over that time, the Mets are

971
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen and one oh seven, which is

972
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: a fifty two percent win rate. Said that before, and

973
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and three players have played for the Mets

974
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: during that time. Nice. That's it's crazy. We're almost one

975
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: to one with Mets up episodes and Mets on the team.

976
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: Oh no, wait, it's not gonna be one of the three.

977
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: I miscalculated Why because I didn't think of the guys

978
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: who played on the team last year too, that are

979
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: still on this roster. Oh, you doubled up. Oh I

980
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: doubled up. Oh it's wrong, wrong, keep that one out.

986
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: a lot of Mets players would come through in our

987
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 2: one hundred episode. I think last year was the most

988
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 2: players ever the Mets used in a single year.

989
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: Let's use I believe sixty one last Yes, I think

991
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,720
Speaker 1: it for the one hundred episode trivia. Let's go ahead

992
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:33,160

Speaker 2: So one hundredth episode, it's gonna have a little fun

998
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 2: here Monday morning when everyone have a good week out there.

999
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: Matt Young at Matt Young five four seven, he said, Hey, guys,

1000
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 2: congrats an episode one hundred.

1001
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt. I got a fun question for tonight.

1002
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: If you could take any former Met in the prime

1003
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 2: of their career and put them on on this twenty

1004
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: twenty two Mets.

1005
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: Roster, who would it be and why? And I have

1006
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: my answer, but I want to hear yours. I think

1007
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: the no fun answer is Tom Seaver. I mean, you

1008
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: have like one of the best pitchers in baseball history.

1009
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, and the Mets could use a

1010
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: little more starting pitching, It'll never be a problem. That's

1011
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: the boring one. I think mine is Mike Piazza because

1012
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: he's my favorite player of all time, and the Mets

1013
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: do have a glaring hole to catch up.

1014
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: I whichould blatantly say, it has to be the David

1015
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 2: the best version of David Wright, like two thousand and seven,

1016
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: So you would get like a thirty thirty third baseman

1017
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: with the lead defense at third base, a guy who

1018
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 2: can hit the middle of this order, right handed bat,

1019
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 2: lefty crusher the mest desperately need.

1020
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: It depends.

1021
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 2: My piata isn't all those things, of course, but I

1022
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: I'd rather get d W. And that's that's the difference

1023
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: between my guy and your guy. I'm a Piazza guy,

1024
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 2: you're a David Wright guy. We both like both of them.

1025
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 2: I love them, both love them both. Would be great to.

1026
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: Meet either of us.

1027
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 2: Saw David Wright make an appearance with Darren from the

1028
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 2: seven Line this weekend. He was showing on TV and

1029
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: during Saturday Night's game.

1030
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: I believe, yeah, so lucky. That's sick. Love to meet

1031
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: David Right.

1032
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: I miss David Right at the bar in Santa Monica

1033
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: in March, apparently by like twenty minutes. It was like

1034
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: a New York bar as they're watching March Mads with

1035
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: some friends and I was wearing my Mets hat.

1036
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: Some guy's like, hey, you're a Mets fan out here too.

1037
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I'm just visiting. He's like, you'll

1038
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: never believe who was just here. I was like who?

1039
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: He was?

1040
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: Like David Wright left twenty minutes ago. I was like,

1041
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: shut the fuck up.

1042
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: My soul would leave my body. I don't I think

1043
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: I would just like get into a slump and be

1044
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: like I can't believe I.

1045
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: The worst part was this guy sat down and had

1046
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 2: a conversation with me and my friends for like twenty

1047
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 2: five minutes afterwards about nonsense Met stuff. He had like

1048
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: pictures of him and Harvey like I met from like

1049
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 2: years ago, talking about all this crazy stuff from the nineties.

1050
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: I was like, you already broke my heart. Now you're

1051
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: like ruining my meal. Thanks a lot, man, Thanks man.

1052
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, if Domestic had any player, I guess in

1053
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: their history, receiver probably is chalk.

1054
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. But also if they could get if they can

1055
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: get thirty thirty three hundred. David, right, I would take

1056
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: that pretty good. Yeah, would help the team a little bit.

1057
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: I like, I like, for sure, all right, you take

1058
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: the next one. This one comes in from heim Moishia

1059
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: Saltzman Man, I might really just butchered your name. I apologize,

1060
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: Oh God, who is it? I would say, I'm Mosh Saltsman. Okay,

1061
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: do you think that Alonzo will be a Met for life?

1062
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: And do you think he will set the all time

1063
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: home run record? So? I'm assuming you mean all time

1064
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: Mets home run record. I used to soon Petere a

1065
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: lowndso is going to be relatively a Mets for life.

1066
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about his later years, but I do

1067
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 1: think that the Mets are going to keep him at

1068
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: first base as long as he wants to be here.

1069
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: I think they will pay him a fair price. I mean,

1070
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: we just saw Mattilson side for twenty million dollars a year,

1071
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: who's one of the premier first basemen in the league too.

1072
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: First baseman just don't get paid major, major money. As

1073
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: long as Pete wants to be here, I think the Mets.

1074
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 2: Will be happy to keep him, Yeah, for sure, and

1075
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 2: he probably lines up as a guy who will get

1076
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 2: an extension soon is shooner rather than later. But I

1077
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: also question whether a guy like Pete who seems to

1078
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 2: be more financially sad the essay in the average baseball

1079
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: player seems like he has more has found more streams

1080
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 2: of revenue and income than most other players have. I

1081
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: hope that doesn't click in as a guy who says, oh,

1082
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: it's financially proven to test free agency, I hope that

1083
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 2: doesn't happen.

1084
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I would love for Pete to never smell

1085
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: free agents. I only want to get a whiff. And

1086
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: as long as he is on the Mets for an

1087
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: extended period of time, I do think he'll break the

1088
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: all time Mets home run record, which I believe is

1089
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: by Strawberry two fifty two. When Alonzo's at one twenty

1090
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: five or one twenty four right now, Pete could make

1091
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: that before before he's actually a for agent.

1092
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, like literally, that could happen very soon, and I

1093
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: really hope it would happen. Yeah, we're looking like three

1094
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 2: years from now Pete catching that one.

1095
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: Yep, So I hope.

1096
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 2: So here's a funny question from Brandon Nemo Stan like

1097
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: Nemo like the fish Nemo, So shout ut nemo. Stan

1098
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: would your guys' favorite place to sit in the ballpark?

1099
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: So obviously you sit behind home plate close you can.

1100
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: I guess if you've got unlimited money, I would sit

1101
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: behind home plate or oh one or in limit of

1102
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: the balls. Yeah, do whatever you would like there, but

1103
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: honestly your best bang for your buck favorite places sit.

1104
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: I really do like the three hundreds. Yeah, it's a

1105
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 1: great scene. It's very like private but also still has vibes. Yeah,

1106
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: that makes sense.

1107
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: Is a bar the horn needos bar and either on

1108
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: both lines first and third base. You have adequate bathrooms there,

1109
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 2: great bathrooms, great bathrooms. They have a couple different places

1110
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 2: to get to get beverages, a couple of different places

1111
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: to get food in the time. Yeah, and if there's

1112
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: a possible inclement weather night, you have the you have

1113
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 2: the thing over your head just in case. I also

1114
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: think the four hundred section right above that's kind of

1115
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: underrated because there's always just the upper deck breeds a

1116
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 2: different kind of fan. I'm an upper de command myself.

1117
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time in the upper deck

1118
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: and city field. It's a nice place to watch the game,

1119
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 2: I think, And the four hundreds, you still get a

1120
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: very good view the field with a good vantage point.

1121
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: Those are the real fans of the four hundred and

1122
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: five hundred levels. Those are the real Mets fans three hundreds. Though,

1123
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: if I had to pick or, I should say, if

1124
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: I was a family on a budget, I would like

1125
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: to sit in the three hundreds because you still get

1126
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: a really good view too, and no one sometimes when

1127
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: you're lower, someone's head could block you. I feel like

1128
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: the way that the seats are like inclined, you'd never

1129
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: get blocked.

1130
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,800
Speaker 2: And as a short guys to the field, there's a

1131
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 2: lot of sections, especially the first row of most sections,

1132
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 2: where the rail just kind of winds up right in between.

1133
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: You have to do the thing where you like sit up, Yeah,

1134
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 2: you sit up and lean forward. And the glasses there too,

1135
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 2: So that three hundreds, like anywhere from like the fifth

1136
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 2: to the tenth row, that's a great.

1137
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: Place to be. Definitely, I think me and you were

1138
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: kind of on the same page there. Well, I answer

1139
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: a few more questions here. I also have some fun

1140
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: ones here. This one comes from Plumber Season at ZAP

1141
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 1: six six zero two formally Zap Nutty. Really, Oh okay,

1142
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he's a regular. Oh, he's a regular. Awesome.

1143
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: How do you two know each other? We'll answer that one. First,

1144
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: we lived in the same town. We grew up in

1145
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: the same town together and went to high school together,

1146
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: so our dads relatively know each other.

1147
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: Brooklyn stuff. Yeah, they're from the same area in Brooklyn.

1148
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 2: They were able to like do the thing. We're like,

1149
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: you know this guy, you ever go to this place,

1150
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 2: you ever do that thing? And they can kind of

1151
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 2: get like most of them, what does James.

1152
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: Do for a living? No comment?

1153
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 2: None of your guys business, I mean none you I

1154
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 2: mean I'm changing jobs soon. That's fun, So we'll get well,

1155
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 2: I'll talk more about that when it becomes public knowledge.

1156
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: There'll be a couple of announcements coming for me the

1157
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 2: next week, which is kind of hysterical. Yeah, a person

1158
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 2: who announces things. I never thought it'd be a person

1159
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 2: who announced anything.

1160
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh, you're gonna have multiple announcements. I'm gonna be doing

1161
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: some cool things.

1162
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: Next few Months's gonna be a crazy summer for James.

1163
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be exciting to not have to ever

1164
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: talk about the job I once had again. And then

1165
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 2: the last one favorite player from a division rival. He's

1166
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 2: a big Jio Gonzales guy.

1167
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: That's crazy. I feel like saying I'm a big John

1168
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: Lannon guy. Honestly, I think my favorite player that has

1169
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: been on like Mets, Marlins, Nationals or Phillies, I'm gonna

1170
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: go with Andres Galarraga, big Andres Galleaga guy when he

1171
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: played with the Braves, like pity for the perfect game. No, no,

1172
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: that's amando. I think a big cat. Okay, Andris Galaraga,

1173
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just remember that dude hitting some

1174
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: monster home runs and even though he killed the Mets,

1175
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: I always appreciated how good he was he was with

1176
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: like those late nineties early two thousands Braves.

1177
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 2: See, my answer is gonna be kind of chalky, but

1178
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 2: I kind of just love jazz Chisholms so much.

1179
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 1: Jazz is fun like he's.

1180
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 2: And I don't even really consider the Marlins arrival to

1181
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 2: the Mets yet because it's never they'd never hurt me

1182
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 2: in any kind of way.

1183
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: Like I would never say a Philly.

1184
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 2: I would only say Harper because I think he was

1185
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 2: like drastically underrated.

1186
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: I I want to love Harper, butl like he's on

1187
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 1: the Phillies, and it breaks my heart because I would

1188
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: love to root for him if he played in like Seattle.

1189
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:20,399
Speaker 1: I love his game.

1190
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 2: I think Briyce Harper again, it is criminally underrated in baseball.

1191
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 2: He's literally he's gonna You're gonna look back and.

1192
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: Be like that was one of the best players we

1193
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: ever saw. Yeah. Wow, I can't believe I missed that

1194
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: came up with he was nineteen. He's never done anything wrong.

1195
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, but I kind of like him just for

1196
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 2: the funny thing that he wasn't national and there were

1197
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 2: like clubhouse issues that may or may not have been

1198
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: a part of him. He left and the immediately won

1199
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 2: a World Series and the Phillies still can't climb over

1200
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 2: eighty three wins, which is that part was really fun.

1201
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 2: But jazz Jazz is sick and I have no I

1202
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 2: have no hate for the Marlins. I also, I grew

1203
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: up loving Don Trell. Willis Dontrell was also. I loved

1204
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 2: Dontrell growing up. I hope, I hope this comes across

1205
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: Don Trell's desk because I know he's MLB LB media guy.

00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: word before doesn't follow me back. I see you, Don

1209
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: Dre My fine wine quote was that, like a fine wine,

1210
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: he only gets better with age. Justin Verlander, he's usual.

1211
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm Justin Verlander too. You invented that one. I invented

1212
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 1: it for Justin Verlander. That's all. I'm fucking bullshit, It's

1213
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: all I'm picking too.

1214
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 2: Marlin his jazz because he's like, truthfully by far, the

1215
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: coolest player in baseball right now.

1216
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: And Don Treelt from back in the day. Yeah, under

1217
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,439
Speaker 1: scala raga for me. And then last question we will

1218
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: answer here to wrap up the mail bag and then

1219
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: go into the preview. This one comes from I love

1220
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: my uncle Steve at Schroeder. Greg best tasting milk after

1221
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,720
Speaker 1: finishing Cereal. This has nothing to do with baseball whatsoever.

1222
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: Greg seems to like cinemas toast crunch milk. I'm gonna

1223
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: let you take this one first.

1224
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: I on really love cinema toast crunch milk. Honestly, I

1225
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: think it kind of misses me at some point in

1226
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: the loop. My favorite milk after Cereal has to be

1227
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: no doubt about it. Cocoa puffs. You're just you're just

1228
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 2: dropping chocolate milk my new cereal thing that I've been doing.

1229
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 2: I'm doing this since college.

1230
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: But I will just straight up buy chocolate milk and

1231
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: do my cereal with chocolate milk. That's that's like so

1232
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: crazy unhealthy for you. I'm shocked I ripped.

1233
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 2: I'll do like, I'll rip chocolate milk and regular cheerios

1234
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 2: with a banana. Ooh okay, interesting, bad. It's like not

1235
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: really a breakfast, more of a snack.

1236
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is more of us. Maybe sometimes I'm really

1237
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:08,879
Speaker 1: trying to get like a little hardy.

1238
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: I'll throw a scoob of peanut butter in there too,

1239
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: Get that all mixed together with the chocolate milk. It

1240
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 2: is delightful, but standard milk post cereal cocoa puffs all

1241
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: the way. I am intolerant to lactose, so yeah, well

1242
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: me too, I'm talking about I'm in milk, so oh milk.

1243
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a big milk I was never a big

1244
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: milk or cereal guy either. But if I did indulge

1245
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: with milk and cereal, cinnamon Too's crunch was the goat.

1246
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

1247
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 2: See, I had a bad experience Cinnamato's crunch and I

1248
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: was a kid. Okay, so I'll delve into that really quickly.

1249
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: My my mom is very, very hyper focused on nutrition.

1250
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: She loved my mom for this.

1251
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 2: She would like go out to like Park Slope to

1252
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 2: get me organic like sweet potatoes. I was like when

1253
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 2: I was an infant growing up in Brooklyn. But one

1254
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 2: night my parents left my sister and I and my

1255
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: grandma's asse to go with a wedding or a part

1256
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 2: of er show. I don't remember what, but I was

1257
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 2: maybe six, my sister was maybe two, and we were

1258
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: hanging out and my grandma just being good Grandma give

1259
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 2: all the treats to the kids. She had Cinnamon Too's

1260
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: crunch and it touched my lips and I couldn't even

1261
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 2: believe the euphoria I was experiencing. So I probably put

1262
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: down almost the entire box of Cinnamonte's crunch after nine

1263
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 2: pm after dinner as a six year old.

1264
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm sharing a bed with my little sister.

1265
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: Woke up in the middle of the night not feeling

1266
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: that well.

1267
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: Yacked literally all over in the middle of I Grandma

1268
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 2: had to clean it up, change the seats, had to

1269
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 2: sleep somewhere else, I'd take a shower.

1270
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: She had that to get the whole body scrub. I

1271
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: didn't need Cinnamon Too's crunch after that for over ten years.

1272
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 1: That's probably until I got to college. Oh, man, cinin

1273
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: Toe's crunch is fantastic. Oh, and now I realize I

1274
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: like it.

1275
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: I would appreciate it, but I can never put it

1276
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: as like a favorite because I have a traumatic experience

1277
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: because I I never had access to it.

1278
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: I had one piece and I was like, what the

1279
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: fuck is this? It's it's unbelievable, it's incredible. It's delicious.

1280
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: I was going to call it something else, but it's delicious.

1281
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: It's awesome. All right, that was the mail bag. We

1282
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: had some fun episode one hundred mail back. Let's go

1283
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: ahead and wrap it up here with a Brewer's preview.

1284
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: The Brewers have not been playing well.

1285
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: No, the Milwaukee Brewers actually just broke This is very

1286
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 2: uncharacteristic of the Brewers, one of the model franchises in

1287
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 2: the league over the last I don't know, five ish

1288
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 2: years since they made that brought When the Dodgers beat them,

1289
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 2: I feel like that's kind of like put them on

1290
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 2: the map. As being a team that's consistently solid. They

1291
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 2: just broke an eight game losing streak on Sunday that

1292
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 2: included the Phillies. I think the Nationals were involved. Like

1293
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 2: they've not been playing very good baseball.

1294
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: They have won two of their last ten games, and

1295
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 1: they are no longer in first place in the National

1296
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: League Central. They are a half game behind Seeing Louis Cardinals,

1297
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: which is nonsense. It's a half game. Yeah, but this

1298
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: is the first time that they've I believe, dropped out

1299
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: of first place this year, or at least in some

1300
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: time this year. It feels like the first time in

1301
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: years they've dropped out of that place. Yea, they have

1302
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: been a very good team, but this team has been struggling.

1303
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: They just haven't played a lot of good baseball.

1304
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 2: They also just they the Brewers kind of go into

1305
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 2: every single season being like a piece or too short,

1306
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 2: and that comes from their financial I don't want to

1307
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: like ramifications of just having a team in Milwaukee.

1308
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't poor. They just don't put that much money

1309
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: to the team. And you really feel for a.

1310
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: Guy like David Starring, such a talented executive, only he

1311
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 2: could come to a team with like a blank checkbook,

1312
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: see the kind of amazing things he could do.

1313
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: But he has a job. Can't talk about another man's

1314
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: job like that, so as you lose, will never do that.

1315
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 2: But like the Brewers signed Andrew mcusson to be a

1316
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: mildy other bat and he's hitting it like barely two hundred,

1317
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: like he had like an over thirty two streak mixed

1318
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: in kessin Herra very sadly has just not developed the

1319
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 2: way a lot of people thought he was a couple

1320
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 2: of years ago. Lorenzo Kines aging kind of as we expected.

1321
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 2: Christian Yelich is some guy in between the guy who

1322
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: was the last two years and the guy who was

1323
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 2: three years ago, which is still a good ballplayer, but

1324
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 2: not the guy you're paying thirty million year whatever.

1325
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: He makes I feel like he always comes to city

1326
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: field and plays well. Though when he does still hit

1327
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 1: the ball really hard.

1328
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 2: He still does a good ball player overall. He does

1329
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 2: a lot of things well, runs the bass, plays defense.

1330
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 2: Base running discourse was prominent Twitter this week for some reason,

1331
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: which is stupid. Should never really consider guys base running

1332
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 2: value unless you're like really trying to split the tiniest

1333
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: of hairs. Ever, should be like the forty fifth thing

1334
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: you look at on a guy's like Fangrafts or stafsavon page.

1335
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: But like they play Jase Peterson all the time. Like

1336
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: thank god for Radley Telez. He's been like what their

1337
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: most their best hitter this year, best power hitter, Omar

1338
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: and Nevis is all around really really good behind the plate.

1339
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: Luis Sirius is really good too, very good, breakout bad.

1340
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: He plays all over the infield, good defense, a little powers,

1341
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: a little play, discipline, steals some bags. Kind of totally

1342
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: flipped that Trent Grisham trade on his head, which is

1343
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 2: really funny being something that the Padres took advantage of

1344
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 2: the Brewers and then eighteen months later the Brewers just

1345
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 2: bamboozled the Padres.

1346
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: And to be fair, the big thing always with the

1347
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: Brewers has been their pitching. Yeah, the last few years

1348
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,359
Speaker 1: it's been pitching, pitching, pitching. They have the three headed

1349
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: monster last year of Burns, Woodroff and Perolta, Woodroff and Perolta.

1350
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: Luckily for us, I'm the il So we are missing

1351
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: those guys. Are we missing Burns? We're catching Burns now. Ah,

1352
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. But Ashby Oh Ashby's looked really good to

1353
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: take a breakout, But Burns hasn't been as sharp as

1354
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: he was last year. No, he's still, like has been

1355
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: statistically one of the ten best pitchers in baseball. But

1356
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: it's not like hit stuper unhittable Corbin Burns like last year.

1357
00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: And I do think this Met's lineup is a lot

1358
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: tougher on pitchers than it has been in the years.

1359
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 2: Past, especially if you against Burn's a few pitches, see

1360
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: what happens. He has that control issues in the past,

1361
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: they haven't been prevalent since he got good. But like,

1362
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 2: he's not unhittable right now, it's not impossible.

1363
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 1: No, what are the exact pitching matchups looking like for

1364
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:50,760
Speaker 1: us this week? Off day today?

1365
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 2: So at Mets fans can finally relax, No sleep in

1366
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 2: if you can, if it's possible for you. But on Tuesday,

1367
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 2: Chris Bassett against Adrian Hauser nice Wednesday, probably some combination,

1368
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 2: I mean right now with ESPN list Peterson and McGill separately.

1369
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: Not exactly sure how the Mets are gonna go about this.

1370
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 2: Maybe check Fangrass. Fangrass schedules usually little more consistent too,

1371
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: so they have them split as Peterson throwing Wednesday, McGill

1372
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 2: throwing Thursday, mc Peterson against Burns. That's gonna be a

1373
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 2: game on Fox too, so be advised for that, and

1374
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: then Thursday another night game mcgil versus Ashby. I don't

1375
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 2: really know how it's gonna wind up, working yourself out.

1376
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: I can kind of see the Mets being more creative

1377
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: with that. Maybe not really disclosing until we get closer

1378
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 2: to those games, but the game we definitely know the

1379
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 2: matchup is House of versusats them Tuesday, and we definitely

1380
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 2: know we're gonna see Corbyn Burns on Wednesday and Aaron

1381
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 2: Ashby and his devastating two seam fastball on Thursday.

1382
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: All their pitchers are solid, yeah, Etching is their strong suit.

1383
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 1: They have a great bullpen. We just got to hit.

1384
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Ashby is a young pitcher, second year in

1385
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 2: the league. Because results have been kind of up and

1386
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 2: down even though the stuff is very consistently good.

1387
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: So maybe catch a thinker who knows, which would be great.

1388
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: We could just catch it the stinker. He's a lefty though, Yeah,

1389
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: that struggle against lefties hits the hand of all Enough

1390
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: enough enough enough, I guess that's really also all we

1391
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 1: need to do against the Brewers, who again line up

1392
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: has not been as strong as we've seen in years past,

1393
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: and we're gonna.

1394
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 2: See Josh Hayleer probably at least once in this series.

1395
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 2: He gave up his first earned run of the year

1396
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 2: last week, which is crazy. He's first earned run since

1397
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 2: I believe July of twenty twenty one. It's crazy, almost

1398
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: on a full calendar year without giving up a run.

1399
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: He's so disgustingly good. He's just like, if you don't

1400
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: think he's the best really baseball, you're on drugs. Oh no,

1401
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: we're talking too.

1402
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 2: Our friend Earnie Underscore subtape who for years and trying

1403
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: to convince that Liam Hendricks was better. And even if

1404
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 2: Liam Hendricks is better, like he's being managed by a

1405
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 2: team who uses pen and pencil. Josh Hayler's being managed

1406
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 2: by a team that's like these guy's no quant finance,

1407
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: Like two different galaxies, the.

1408
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,479
Speaker 1: Brewers in the White Sox. Luckily the Mets are catching

1409
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:36,439
Speaker 1: them playing bad baseball. And I do think the Mets

1410
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 1: are a better team than the Brewers on paper, whatever

1411
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: way you want to look at it.

1412
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,839
Speaker 2: I think they're at least this Mets team without their

1413
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 2: two best starting pitchers, I don't think they're a better

1414
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 2: team on paper and the Brewers, I think maybe the

1415
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 2: Mets at full strength are, But I think this week it's.

1416
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: A pretty pretty even. Yeah. I think the Mets will

1417
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: be all right when the series win. The series two

1418
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: of three is so easily do it. We've been doing

1419
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: it all year. Knock him off. We're due for a

1420
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 1: poop fest. We know how that were one. Maybe we

1421
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: can avoid one. That'd be cool, it'd be cool.

1422
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 2: But I we're just looking at this and every single

1423
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 2: time we said this last few episode it kind of

1424
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 2: jinxed it. But like looking at that Corbyn Burns David

1425
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: Peterson game makes me just shit a brick.

1426
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't feel great. No, I don't like that.

1427
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean the other ones. That's the worst matchup that

1428
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: we definitely have, and like you said.

1429
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: That's statistically one of the worst matchups the mess can

1430
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 2: come across on their schedule the whole year. Yeah, I

1431
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 2: don't know how many pitchers Ben and Corbyn Burns are

1432
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 2: gonna see and and Peter said, while he's been good,

1433
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 2: he's probably statistically our lowest ceiling starting pitcher right now.

1434
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 1: And also, if there is one thing that the Brewers

1435
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: are gonna do well, it's gonna be left ended pitching

1436
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: because they have Willia, Domus Hunter, ren for Lorenzo Ky.

1437
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 2: And Andrew Mcutcheon. Yeah, those guys all crushed. They just

1438
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 2: stacked line with them. We also should we didn't mention

1439
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: it on the Damasis. Yeah, Becau's not a lie. He's

1440
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 2: he's been so good.

1441
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, he's back now though I think he's.

1442
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he came back like this whole week at

1443
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 2: two home runs his first five games back, got the

1444
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: guy at Tampa Bay and just roping the ball.

1445
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: Very very good player. But we'll see how it goes

1446
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: this week off day. Like we said today, when you
